( chris briney, cisman, he/him ) ⎯ ethan sinclair has been a resident of roseton for his whole life . around the town , the twenty-eight year old freelance handyman has been given the nickname recluse. i think it's because they are intuitive , but also standoffish . [ stress biting fingernails, a dead end street, a bookshelf collecting dust ]
ethan was born and raised in roseton and hasn't really experienced much outside of that. his world is pretty small and he's relatively okay with that. he is mostly around to help his dad at the diner and make small conversation with the older regulars that come in. that's how he began his work as a handyman, fixing things for the seniors that came into the diner who needed help and couldn't get around to it themselves. other than that his social circle is pretty small. he might go out to roseton revenge every great once in a while but other than that he's sort of like the roseton cryptid
personality.
super awkward (same). he'd rather be inside the house building lego sets than forming relationships with other people. and he definitely deals with a lot of anxiety just in general (again, same) so he's not really open to trying new things or experiencing anything outside his comfort zone. he's pretty smart and good at finding solutions for things. despite that he doesn't really utilize it for anything besides his work as a handyman (and the legos). he can come off as judgmental (and don't get me wrong sometimes he is) but he's not trying to be. one of the characters that fits his mbti type is literally squidward and i think that's actually pretty spot on ;-; he cares a lot, truly, but doesn't know how to express it. he really does want to change but also is unwilling to really push himself outside his comfort zone for that to happen.
potential connections?
i could definitely see him having that one extroverted friend that ethan follows around like their shadow :') he doesn't need to talk much with them and he appreciates that. perhaps a small friend group even that he is comfortable listening to their convos and not really adding much but feeling included. i would love to see him be pushed outside his comfort zone a little (or a lot)
perhaps an ex of some sort .. i can't really see him being good with romantic relationships at all so it would've ended badly or maybe fizzled out. he's emotionally clumsy and i could see him preferring to just break things off with someone rather than agreeing to disagree about something or trying to see their point of view.
if there's anything else that comes to mind i would love to hear it because i'm struggling to come up with stuff atm :')
